Wow, on this side of the pond you can and will get writen up for working off the clock. I wonder what other stuff the UK stores do that ours don't?

All is well! :)

Back on topic, I'm glad they lost. For once, something should not be just hush-hush and slid under the table. Let the world know that even the mighty, can fall when tiny people poke at it with sticks.
